Evidence for my ePortfolio

I decided to investigate home-based exercise programmes, such as Wii Fit Plus. 

Here is a link to information about it.

I found this review on Youtube about it.




and here are some reviews about it:

Pros

  • Better options for multiplayer mode; fun new games
  • Strength and yoga moves can be combined to flow together
  • Choose built-in or custom routines
  • See calories burned for each game or session
  • Syncs seamlessly with existing Wii Fit data

Cons

  • Preset routines are brief and not intuitively named
  • Not a substitute for more vigorous, sustained exercise
  • Still too much click-through and too many extra screens

Rating Description
out of 10
7.5 Presentation
A healthy list of exercises and balance board games -- everything from the original plus 15 new minis and six new exercises. Calorie counter. Programs. BMI is flawed. Graphics are still too basic.
5.0 Graphics
Intentionally simple and unimposing. There's polish, but the presentation is also a little boring.
6.0 Sound
Crisp audio from the on-screen trainers, but their guiding dialog is repeated way too often.
8.5 Gameplay
Working out made fun with more games, more exercises and routine programs. BMI system is imprecise, though. Some of the games are uninspired.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Huge selection of games and exercises, as well as a local multiplayer mode. No online leaderboards or challenges, though, which is unfortunate.
8.2
OVERALL
Great
(out of 10)

I also interviewed a friend who has Wii Fit Plus






Overall, it seems like this is a good product to buy if you want to get fit and healthy. It's cheaper than a gym membership, and more convenient. Also it would be fun for families. I am thinking about buying one of these myself to keep fit.
